I don't think it makes sense to make judgements on the entire player bases' usage of the ap system based on who goes to pax. Ship the alpha as early as possible, that's how you get free playtesting that is more representative, i.e. worth working on. Belaboring on behalf of pax feedback seems like reacting to initial impressions, and specific game mechanics are not usually under critical consideration.
The reason we don't have our hands on the Alpha right now is that the Pax version is... Basically held up with paperclips and glue.
A test of a test.

Besides as I said the issue with the high ap system is that ultimately it proved arbitrary.
The low ap system so far has shown it succeeds at making every ap and move matter. Something the old system failed spectacularly at.
